Gather 1 cup of steel-cut oats.

Measure 3 cups of water.

If you prefer a creamier consistency, you can use a mix of water and milk.

Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.

Consider including 1 tablespoon of butter for toasting the oats.

Use the sauté function on your Instant Pot to toast the oats.

Melt the butter in the Instant Pot.

Add the steel-cut oats and stir for about 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant.

Add the water or your water-milk mixture along with a pinch of salt and any spices you want.

Seal the lid of the Instant Pot and set it to high pressure for 10 minutes.

The pot will take approximately 10 minutes to pressurize before cooking begins.

Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 to 20 minutes.

Open the lid and give the oatmeal a good stir; it will thicken as it cools.

Top your Irish oatmeal with fresh berries, a sprinkle of brown sugar, or a splash of cold milk.
